Struggled back on turf last twice but he ran lots of good races on AW in the spring and is well treated on his two wins late last year; has record of 29123 at Chelmsford and he looks interesting back in this sphere.

Both of his wins have been on AW over 7f and he's yet to finish in the first three in six starts on turf; failed to beat a rival at Yarmouth (1m, good) three weeks ago and now drops back down to 6f with the visor back on (replacing cheekpieces); probably better on AW over a bit further.

Both wins over 7f on AW; form took a slight dip the last twice, finishing fourth in two turf classifieds, latterly here (1m, good; second go at the trip) lat month; on the plus side he's down to his last winning mark and seemed to stay this distance last time.

Sole win when just hanging on over C&D last November; a drop in the weights has paid some dividends of late, over 6f here and at Lingfield, but he does take a good hold and will need to settle better back at 7f.

Dual AW winner (6f/7f) but his last success was 17 months ago and he's been up and down in five runs this year; ran too freely at Lingfield last time but that was a disappointing run as favourite and he needs to bounce back again after that.

Much improved for the step up to 7f in these aids when winning his first two handicaps, over C&D and at Southwell; well held over 1m next time but he probably just bumped into one when runner-up at Southwell last week (cheekpieces left off; refitted today); up further 1lb; good chance.
